In the case that it does, will Nissan's warranty cover me for a new one?
If not, should I just make it a welded diff if I'm not financially able to get a 2way LSD?
Thanks
Since your drifting you'll know what I'm talking about.

How do you know when you have an open diff. First Is when only one tire is smoking not two. and, or, when your not counter steering.

Easiest way to test is by performing donuts. First find a safe,open space, out side the city to perform this test. Try both left,and right hand donuts.

Testing on a lift is not accurate. you will need load on the diff to determine if its locking or not.

If your car is not a dedicated track car. i would not recommend welding the diff for a street car.

This is how i would test it my self. Hope other members can come in and add there ways.

Good luck.
